Elyssa Davalos played Nikki Carpenter in six episodes during season 3.

Here's photo of her in 2017. Person in right is Elyssa and in left side is her daughter Alexa Davalos.

I saw a photo of her also in 2012, back then her hair was similar as in MacGyver and the only difference was that she was wearing glasses, but now 5 years later it's hard to recognize her.

Her last acting role was in Nancy Drew from 2007, after that she had little pause in film career, but in this decade she returned and made a couple projects as a writer, co-producer and technical advisor in Chihuahua Too! (2013), Ireland: The Celtic Way (2013) and Coin's World (2016).

This was her about ten years ago.


This was about twenty years after her time in MacGyver.

I think it's the blond and she seemed to have a gained a few pounds too. Than again look at Rick, he turned grey and gained more than a few pounds.

Yup, lookin more Granny-esque these days. Another victim of the middle-aged, processed food spread. Her body was hard, athletic back in the day though .... could pretty well crack walnuts on those gluts.

It happens to everyone lol

Interestingly, I thought I recognized her daughter. She was on Angel as a character named Gwen Raiden.

Alexa can be seen on the Man in the High Castle which has been on for 2 seasons now. She was also in The Chronicles of Riddick.

It is nice to see a pic of Elyssa after all these years.

It's good to see her again! Time takes its toll on us all

Her thumb looks a bit like MacGyver's (or rather RDA's ) .Thumbs up ,Nikki

Granny-esque? Maybe she just figured to hell with it all and started to enjoy life and food a little more. Now she's probably early to well in her fifties.

It just remains interesting on how some people don't seem to age or change at all, while others do. The only thing you gotta do is take care of yourself.

Not always . Some people (for many reasons ) age better than others .Elyssa /Nikki (ok I was a fan I said it many times before here) has probably given up being an actress. So she can do what she likes and eat what she wants ...do you think she looks better than Teri Hatcher ? Who has obviously resorted to plastic surgery in order to remain an actress ?
Elyssa looks like a normal person...and I'm glad she chose that path...
There again thumbs up !

You're exactly right Tvero!

Amen to that!!! She's aging beautifully and gracefully... Not trying to erase her life and experiences in a surgeon's office!

as long as she is happy... maybe she just stopped caring about weight!
